Remembering George Alec Effinger

Editor Marty Halpern remembers the late, great George Alec Effinger over at MORE RED INK. Check it out. I love the quote up in the masthead -- Jeff Ford on Marty Halpern as editor: "If Marty were Moses, God would be seeing some red ink." Hysterical. LOL :) 'Looking forward to the next two parts of this series. (Pictured above is my wraparound cover art for Effinger's BUDAYEEN NIGHTS (edited by Marty Halpern, published by Golden Gryphon Press, 2003).)
